Heroes' Prison Chapter 80

Before he knew it, several days had passed.

In these past days, Huang Yi, along with Biyue Qingkong and Little Fatty, had become increasingly well-coordinated, now able to clear up to the 12th floor—a brand-new maze environment that was harder to fight in than the previous garden scenes.

In terms of levels, the trio had also made significant progress. Little Fatty’s level had soared to 20, Huang Yi had risen to 24, and Biyue Qingkong was at 26.

As for equipment, Huang Yi had almost completely renewed his arsenal. Every day, he exhausted his solo run limit, first using the Eye of Time to peek at the BOSS’s loot; if unsatisfied, he would refresh, and if satisfied, he would fight. Through this method, he rapidly accumulated four pieces of Overlord’s Contract Jewelry, an efficiency that was almost on par with what others would achieve in a month or two.

Currently, the only piece of Overlord’s Contract Jewelry Huang Yi was missing was the legendary Overlord’s Pact Storage Ring!

However, the drop rate for the ring was so low that Huang Yi held little hope. His only wish was to complete the armor set. At present, he had six pieces of the Man-Eating Flower Set and was just missing the final piece—the cloak.

With his current gear, he was definitely among the top in all of Thornbush City; where it would be rare for others to score a piece of Blue Gear in a week of grinding, he was mostly decked out in Blue Gear, with Green Gear making up only a small portion.

He decided that once he hit level 25, he would leave Thornbush City and continue north to Dragon City. From here to Dragon City, he would need to cross a vast expanse of the Desolate Sands, which was incredibly dangerous, simply impassable without substantial strength. And for Huang Yi, reaching level 25 would be a major power spike, when he could learn an entirely new Class Skill!

Today, Huang Yi once again arrived at Thornbush City’s Teleportation Field, ready to solo the Tower of Pantheons’ 13th floor. He was now at 24th level with 90% Experience Points and would reach 25th level within the day.

"Did you know? Last night, the world record for the 30th floor was broken again by Heavenly Dao from Japan! And he shortened the previous record holder’s time by a full three minutes!"

"What? Him again! Is he a world record enthusiast or what? Before, he killed a level 157 Rare Quest monster and held the record for a long time until Instakill broke it. Now, the records for the 10th, 20th, and 30th floors of the Tower of Pantheons all belong to him. Is he trying to defy the heavens or what?"

"Who knows! Currently, Dao Feng holds the world record for the 40th floor, it remains to be seen whether Heavenly Dao can break it."

"It’s definitely not possible in the short term; after all, Heavenly Dao is only at level 45, he needs more time."

...

As soon as Huang Yi arrived at the Teleportation Field, he heard many people discussing Heavenly Dao.

Heavenly Dao was indeed a talent, passionate about various world records and very strong; once he broke a record, it was difficult for others to surpass. Since breaking the 10th floor’s record at level 25, nobody has managed to break it, it remained firmly his. The only exception was the record for killing the highest-level monster, which was broken by Huang Yi.

Ignoring the gossip, Huang Yi immediately teleported to the 13th floor of the Tower of Pantheons, and as usual, activated the Eye of Time to check the BOSS’s drops.

All five BOSSes dropped White and Green Gear, not worth his time to fight, so Huang Yi took down the minions, collected the experience, and left.

After resetting the dungeon, Huang Yi teleported back inside and once again used the Eye of Time.

The next moment, he finally saw a long-awaited piece of equipment!

The first BOSS was set to drop something called the Man-Eating Flower Cloak—a piece of Blue Gear!

This was exactly the last piece of the Man-Eating Flower Set that Huang Yi had been waiting for. Getting this cloak would activate the 7-piece set effects, vastly boosting his power.

Luckily for him, the first BOSS was the easiest to handle—only time-consuming but not particularly difficult.

After about ten minutes, Huang Yi finally killed it and obtained the Man-Eating Flower Cloak.

The cloak was blood-red, looking as if it had been soaked in a blood pool. When Huang Yi put it on, he appeared almost vampire-like, exuding a mysterious and bloodthirsty aura.

The next moment, his helmet, armor, legwear, bracer, belt, and shoes—the six protective gear parts—suddenly glowed blue, merging with the cloak behind him, shining brightly and dazzling to behold, giving off a feeling of perfect harmony. The 7-piece set effect was finally activated!

And this last set effect provided a 1% chance to deal triple damage on a critical hit!

How much damage a critical hit would deal varies from player to player, mainly depending on the Critical Hit Effect attribute. If the Critical Hit Effect was 150%, then the damage from a critical hit would be 1.5 times normal damage. Most players’ Critical Hit Effect was below 200%, meaning less than double damage; Huang Yi’s set attribute, on the other hand, was a staggering triple!

Though the chance was small, only 1%, whether it occurred or not was entirely up to luck.

Afterward, Huang Yi found that leveling minions became much easier. Previously, his cloak was Whiteboard Equipment, but now it had been transformed into Blue Gear, with the set effect activated; with each strike, there was a tangible increase in damage. This gear set would be suitable for use all the way to level 30 without issues.

This time, he finished leveling the minions 5 minutes earlier than before, one of the most evident benefits of the cloak’s boost was the reduction in clearance time.

Huang Yi exited the dungeon and reset it.

"Ah! Look, that guy has a complete set of the Man-Eating Flower Set! That’s so cool!" Just then, a group of players nearby suddenly noticed the spectacular glow on Huang Yi’s gear, and the chatter buzzed with envy as they stared fixedly at his dazzling set.

"He’s so determined. I wonder how many days of non-stop grinding it took him to gather the whole set. It takes me two hours to run once, and after grinding 5 times a day, I’m wiped out, managing to get only one piece after a week," one player commented.

"You’re level 30 and still running floor 15; it’s lucky enough that it dropped a piece for you. This guy probably runs the floors that match his level more closely; otherwise, the drop rate is too low," another player speculated.
